I am not sure about that one. In the 7 line, Drake used Motorola TO-92
devices. I think that the ones that they are using now should be fine. The
R8 is a good receiver "right out of the box".

Would the 1N5767S be a good replacement for the front-end bandpass
filter switching diodes in an R8? Drake used a 1SS135.
